(Srciiorw  J^cunioit 


Written  by  John  Milton  Gregory  and  first  sung  at  the  formal  opening  of 
the  University  on  March  ii,  1868. 

We  hail  thee!      Great  Fountain  of  learning  and  light; 
There's  life  in  thy  radiance,  there's  hope  in  thy  might 
We  greet  now  thy  dawning,  but  what  singer's  ryme. 
Shall  follow  thy  course  down  the  ages  of  time? 

O'er  homes  of  the  millions,  o'er  rich  fields  of  toil. 
Thy  science  shall  shine  as  the  sun  shines  on  soil. 
And  Learning  and  Labor — fit  head  for  fit  hand — 
Shall  crown  with  twin  glories  our  broad  prairie  land. 

And  as  generations,  in  the  grand  march  of  time, 
Shall  fill  the  long  ages  with  numbers  sublime. 
Thy  portals  shall  throng  with  the  lowly  and  great 
Thy  Science-crowned  children  shall  bless  all  the  State. 

Then  hail  thee !    blest  fountain  of  labor  and  light. 
Shine  on  in  thy  glory,  rise  ever  in  might; 
We  greet  now  thy  dawning;   but  ages  to  come 
Must  tell  of  thy  grandeur,  and  shout  Harvest  Home.

By  thy  rivers  gently  flowing,  Illinois,  Illinois, 

O'er  thy  prairies  verdant  growing,  Illinois,  Illinois, 

Comes  an  echo  on  the  breeze, 

Rustling  thro'  the  leafy  trees, 

And  its  mellow  tones  are  these,  Illinois,  Illinois. 

When  you  heard  your  country  calling,  Illinois,  Illinois, 

Where  the  shot  and  shell  were  falling,  Illinois,  Illinois, 

When  the  Southern  host  withdrew, 

Pitting  Gray  against  the  Blue, 

There  were  none  more  brave  than  you,  Illinois,  Illinois. 

Not  without  thy  wondrous  story,  Illinois,  Illinois, 

Can  be  writ  the  nation's  glory,  Illinois,  Illinois. 

On  the  record  of  thy  years 

Abram  Lincoln's  name  appears. 

Grant  and  Logan  and  our  tears,  Illinois,  Illinois. 

We're  loyal  to  you,  Illinois, 

We're  "Orange  and  Blue,"  Illinois, 

We  '11  back  you  to  stand  'gainst  the  best  in  the  land, 

For  we  know  you  have  sand,  Illinois,  Rah !  Rah !

Fling  out  that  dear  old  flag  of  Orange  and  Blue, 
Lead  on  your  sons  and  daughters,  fighting  for  you ; 
Like  men  of  old,  on  giants  placing  reliance. 
Shouting  defiance — Os-key-wow-wow ! 

A-mid  the  broad  green  plains  that  nourish  our  land. 
For  honest  Labor  and  for  Learning  we  stand, 
And  unto  thee  we  pledge  our  heart  and  hand. 
Dear  Alma  Mater  Illinois.

Rising  midst  the  golden  cornfield, 
Grandly  to  the  view, 
Reaches  our  dear  Alma  Mater 
Proudly  to  the  blue.

Swell  the  chorus  ever  louder, 
Full  of  cheer  and  joy ; 
Hail  to  thee,  our  Alma  Mater, 
Dear  old  Illinois. 

Where  the  boundless  rolling  prairie 
Joins  the  earth  and  sky. 
There  our  love  will  center  ever. 
Love  that  cannot  die. 

For  our  love,  0  Alma  Mater, 
Time  can  ne'er  destroy. 
We  will  ever  sing  thy  praises, 
Dear  old  Illinois.

Old  Princeton  yells  her  tiger, 

Wisconsin  her  varsity, 
And  they  give  the  same  old  Eah !  Rah !  Rah ! 

At  each  University, 
But  the  yell  that  always  thrills  me, 

And  fills  my  heart  with  joy, 
Is  the  good  old  Os-kee-wow-wow 

That  they  yell  at  Illinois. 

Chorus — 

Os-kee-wow-wow,  Illinois, 

Our  eyes  are  all  on  you, 
Os-kee-wow-wow,  Illinois, 

Wave  your  Orange  and  your  Blue.    Rah !  Rah  ! 
When  the  team  trots  out  before  you. 
Ev'ry  man  stand  up  and  yell, 

Wisconsin 

Back  the  team  and  give  J  ^    t  ^

Os-kee-wow-wow,  Illinois. 

Teddy  Roosevelt  may  be  famous. 

And  his  name  you  often  hear. 
But  it's  heroes  on  the  foot-ball  field, 

Each  college  man  holds  dear. 
We  think  with  pride  of  Roberts, 

Artie  Hall  and  Heavy,  too, 
Os-kee-wow-wow  for  the  wearers. 

Of  the  Orange  and  the  Blue.
